JOE Calzaghe is set for a farewell fight with another American boxing legend after beating Bernard Hopkins in Las Vegas, but this time at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Veteran Roy Jones Jnr, 39, guest summariser for BBC Wales during the Hopkins fight, has revealed talks are already under way for another blockbuster night at the Millennium Stad-ium.

The Argus understands that TV giants HBO have earmarked November 15 for the clash.

Jones' stock is on the rise once again, he's followed three successive defeats by beating Felix Trinidad.

Jones is a long-time target for Calzaghe and has revealed why he is finally ready to meet the pride of Wales.

He explained: "Joe Calzaghe is a great champion and now is the time for us to get it on.

"In the past I have not wanted to fight Calzaghe, because I was the man and Joe was a European fighter who meant nothing in the US.

"But now Calzaghe is the man. HBO have told me to keep November 15 free and it looks like a fight between us is finally going to happen.

"I am close to signing a two-fight deal and have no problems coming to the UK.

"I guess the Millennium Stadium or Wembley are the only places big enough to hold all of Calzaghe's supporters."

Jones, a three-weight world champion, is happy for the clash to be at either super-middleweight or light heavy.

"I can get ready to fight at both weights, it depends which belts Joe wants to put on the line," he said.

Jones' CV is hugely impressive, having also beaten Bernard Hopkins, as well as Clinton Woods, Antonio Tarver and Trinidad.

However, Calzaghe's desire to fight at the Mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden, in New York City, is another possible destination for a fight that now seems a certainty.

Calzaghe, clearly disappointed with his first-round knockdown, has given the green light to clashing with Jones.

"Roy is a legend, someone I have always respected, and as my next fight could be my last, I will need to think very carefully about who I fight.

"Roy and Kelly Pavlik are maybe the only two names out there now, I have come to America and become the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world and I am running out of things to prove.

"It has always been a dream of mine to fight in America and I have done that now, I will take a holiday and a rest and then we'll see what the options are."

Calzaghe's father, Enzo, bemoaned Bernard Hopkins' lack of class, giving Joe no credit at the post- fight press conference and claiming he won the fight.

"Bernard is a word you couldn't print in the paper," he told the Argus.

"He took a five-minute break for a non-existent low-blow, he used his head throughout the fight and he didn't try to win, he tried to nullify Joe.

"Ultimately we are coming home with Joe still undefeated and with the tag as the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world. I feel incredibly proud and I am sure the whole of Britain feels the same way."
